SIGHTING: PENSACOLA, FLORIDA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was driving through downtown pensacola on 08/15/2018 at 15:45 on my way home from work. i stopped for a traffic light and something off to my left caught my eye. i turned my attention towards the movement and witnessed what appeared to be an 18 - 24 inch long silver dart shaped object moving slowly just above the roof top of a building. i know it was just above the roof because the object was between me and the taller building behind it. as i watched it slowly began to accelerate while gradually gaining altitude. it looked more like a rocket from an old science fiction movie than an airplane but there was no exhaust or propellers that were visible. if it had wings they were very stubby. i really cant say that i saw any wings. the object continued to gain altitude and accelerate off towards the north but suddenly made a left 180deg turn and headed south (back towards me) at a slower pace. the traffic light changed and i had to move, but i glanced up at it twice more as i crossed the intersection and it appeared to have slowed or perhaps to have come to a stop about 5oo feet up in the air. this was not a drone. well not any kind of drone i have ever seen and i do a lot of research on a lot of things and i have never seen anything this small with these characteristics.
